    In reply to Apple's Internal Secrecy Protocol Is Ridiculous
    A lot of these practices are directly gleaned from how the government handles and secures classified information.


    In a previous life as an Army intelligence analyst, I worked in a secure, compartmented information facility (SCIF). We had the red siren lights, electromagnetically sealed door, MP sitting outside, periodic "sanitizations" where everything had to be identified and filed, even if you were just going to pull the same file again once the area was sanitized, etc.


    It makes sense, but it's still funny to think of the cell phone market in such a serious, cut-throat, high-stakes manner.

    @cyberwiz01: "That doesn't make any sense. Sorry; there's no known way of saying an English sentence in which you begin a sentence with 'iPhone' and capitalize it. Get me a jury and show me how you can say "IPhone", and I'll go down on you. That's just idiotic, if you'll forgive me by saying so. That's just stupid, "IPhone"; I'd love to know how you emphasize 'i' in "iPhone"...impossible! Meaningless!"

    Well, when I worked in a mail room, I had 4 cameras on me at all times in a room which was at most 20x20, and required three different badge swipes to get into.


    Do the product testing rooms have windows into which something could be seen/glanced?

    What's the world coming to when we'll sacrifice 2 cold beers (I know, not just 1 but 2) in order to use a device... I think I'd rather just put my phone in the shade for some time and keep the beers cold rather than drink warm beer.

    @superhumanben: You could even take that time while the phone is cooling down to enjoy yourself and your thoughts while sitting under the shade drinking the two beers. Unless you're a binge drinking college student, the time it takes to enjoy a couple of good beers should be enough time to let the phone cool down.

    My 3G gets pretty warm sometimes, like when charging and using a 3G/WiFi tether, but I've never seen this message. I don't think it's a good idea to leave any electronic device in the sun for extended periods of time.

    In reply to Rogue Android App Allegedly Destroying G1 Memory, Installing Adware
    I see a few clueless people going on about "idiot users" downloading "random stupid crap", from the comfortable perspective of seeing this unfold after the fact and not actually suffering the blindsight that this "random stupid" application brought onto G1 users. Application approval processes ensure that the application is not going to flood you with malicious crap and is not going to destroy your product.


    An approval process-free app market sounds great, in theory. In the real world, applications like this show its ultimate weakness. Downloading applications becomes a craps shoot, and a craps shoot for an application market fucking sucks. Hard.
